KAZIMIER BOROVSKI, 0F DETROIT, MICHIGAN.

WASI-IBOILER.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, KAZIMLER BoRovsKI, a subject of the Emperor ofAustria-Hungary, residing at Detroit, in the county of Vayne and Stateof Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inVashboilers, of which the following is a specification, reference beinghad therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to wash boilers, and the primary object ofmyinvention is to furnish a wash boiler with a novel clothes holder thatpermits of clothes being elevated whereby water can readily drain fromthe same and the clothes cooled to that extent that they can be easilyremoved from the wash boiler.

Another ob-iect of this invention is to furnish a wash boiler with aclothes holder in the form of a foraminous body that can be easily,quickly andsafely elevated relatively to the boiler to permit of waterdraining from the clothes.

A further object of this invention is to furnish the bottom of a boilerwith a novel heat distributer that facilitates the heating and boilingof water within the boiler.

A still further object of this invention is to furnish a boiler with asimple, durable and inexpensive attachment that prevents clothes frombeing burned by the bottom of a clothes boiler.

Vith the above and other objects in view the invention resides in thenovel construction, combination and arrangement of parts to behereinafter specifically described and then claimed.

Reference will now be had to the drawings, wherein Figure 1 is a sideelevation of a clothes boiler in accordance with this invention,

Fig. 2- is a longitudinal sectional view of the same, Fig. 3 is avertical sectional View of the boiler, Fig. 4; is a side elevation ofthe clothes boiler showing the attachment thereof in an elevatedposition, and Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectional view of the boiler.

Further describing my invention in detail with reference to theaccompanying drawings, wherein like numerals denote corresponding partsthroughout: 1 denotes an oblong receptacle having the shape of anordinary clothes boiler and the upper edges of thereceptacle, at theends thereof are provided with handles 2 whereby the clothes boiler canbe easily moved. The bottom of Specification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 730,657.

the receptacle has a plurality of openings a closed by conical-shapednipples 5 extending into the receptacle. The inner ends of the nipplesare provided with openings 6 in communication with a longitudinal closedheat conduit 7 that is in the form of a tube and spaced above the bottom3 of the receptacle.

8 denotes guides carried by the outer sides of the receptacle 1,intermediate the ends thereof, said guides extending from the bottom tothe upper edges of said receptacles. Slidably mounted in the guides 8are supports 9 that have the upper ends thereof provided with crossheads or holders 10 arranged longitudinally relatively to thereceptacle. The supports 9, adjacent to the heads 10 are provided withoutwardly extending pivot pins 11 upon which are pivotally mounted theupper ends of rods 12. The lower ends of the rods are pivotally mountedupon pins 13 carried by the ends of a yoke 15% that surrounds one end ofthe receptacle 1.

The yoke 14: is fulcrumed upon stud bolts or pins 15 carried by theouter sides of the receptacle 1, adjacent to one end thereof. The yoke14: intermediate the ends thereof has an offset portion 16 provided witha handle 17 and this handle is adapted to be engaged by an angle keeperl8 pivotally mounted between apertured lugs 19 carried by the end of thereceptacle. The angle keeper 18 retains the outer end of the yoke in alowered position and the inner end of the yoke in an elevated posit-ionwhereby the supports 9 will be elevated and the cross heads 10 raised toa point above the upper edges of the receptacle. By swinging the keeper18 upwardly out of engagement with the handle 17 the supports 9 can beeasily lowered.

Arranged within the receptacle 1 is a clothes holder 20 having the formof a clothes boiler, this holder being telescoped by the receptacle 1.The upper edges of the holder 20 at the ends thereof have handles 21,similar to the handles 2, and at the sides of said holder there areoutwardly extending curved brackets or handles 22 adapted to be engagedby the cross heads 10 of the supports 9.

The bottom of the holder 20 is perforated, as at 23 and provided with anoblong opening 24. Arranged over the opening 24 and secured to thebottom of the holder is a semicylindrical perforated casing 25 thatprovides clearance for the heat conduit 7. The sides of the clot-hesholder 20 are provided with large openings 26 screened by verticalparallel equally spaced bars 27.

\Vith the clothes holder in a lowered position within the receptacle 1clothes can be placed therein and safely boiled by the water within thereceptacle 1, without any danger of the clothes being burned or scorchedagainst the heated bottom 8 of the receptacle. Heat is uniformlydistributed and conducted in the bottom of the receptacle 1, whereby thecontents thereof can be expeditiously brought to a boil.

After the clothes have been boiled the handle 17 of the yoke 14 can belowered and locked in a lowered position by the angle keeper 18. As theyoke 14 is shifted the supports 9 are raised and the clothes holderelevated to the position shown in Fig. at. Water can then drain from theholder back into the receptacle 1 and then the holder re moved from thecross heads 10 and the clothes carried to a point for further washingoperations. I

The wash boiler inits entirety can be made of light and durable metaland of such sizes that it can be conveniently handled.

While in the drawing there is illustrated a preferred embodiment of theinvention it is to be understood that the structural elements aresusceptible to such variations and modifications as fall within thescope of the appended claims.

What I claim is 1. A wash boiler comprising a receptacle having itsbottom formed with a series of longitudinally alining openings, cone.perforated.

' holder and into which extends said conduit,

said holder further having its bottom pro vided with perforations.

2. In a wash boiler, a clothes holder comprising a body portion havingeach of its sides provided with large openings, vertically disposedspaced parallel barsarranged within said body portion and at each ofsaid openings, said body portion having its bottom formed with alongitudinally extending oblong opening, anda semi-cylindricalperforated casing-securedto the upper face of said bottom and over saidoblong opening, said bottom being further A wash boiler comprising areceptacle for a clothes holder, sald receptacle having its bottomprovided with a plurality of longitudinally alining openings, coneshapednipples secured to the upper. face of said bottom and arranged over saidopenings and a longitudinally cylindrical closed heat conduit secured tothe topof and communicating with said nipples.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in the presence of twowitnesses.
